Youth Basketball Clinics: A Personal Analysis

Decent Essays
When I look back on how I became the person that I am today, I think of all the people, activities, and opportunities that molded me and helped me become successful leader. One activity in my community that has really helped me develop into a leader was when we held our youth basketball clinics each year. These clinics were every Saturday from 8am to noon for two months during the school year. The high school basketball players helped run the clinics, but it was not mandatory for us to go. I went to all of these clinics because I found out just how important it was to give back to the community which had gave so much to me. At these clinics, I learned how even when you do not think that you are a leader you are to someone you may not even

    My most significant leadership experience would be when I was in the Girls Varsity Tennis Team. I had been in the tennis team during my highschool years, for 2 years. During that time I learned a lot about being a leader, such as what it means to lead others, and what qualities a leader should have.

Which was entirely true, because when I began playing I was not any good whatsoever.…

He said that disciplining a younger group of kids is a lot different from older kids for the reason of you can push a older kid farther than a younger.

    If you graduated high school you remember the fast whirlwind of senior year. College applications alone are like a hurricane that won’t give up until it takes everything out of you. They judge you based on grade point average, ACT/SAT scores, and extracurricular activities. Not everyone can have a four point oh grade point average, multiple varsity letters, be president of different organizations, have time for friends and family, and still somehow be a teenager. If you look at a person based solely on their title there aren’t that many leaders.…

    A normal person might strive to be average, to be the okay for the moment and never truly use their full potential. For a normal person, being in a leadership position can sometimes be too hard, complicated, and stressful if they are not dedicated or prepared.

I, however, believe that I have the potential, the training, and the motivation to do something amazing as the VP of District Four.
